Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Coasian reasoning has one very important consequence for the analysis of contracts. If the costs of negotiating and enforcing contracts are low relative to the benefits, buyers and sellers will have incentives to make economically efficient arrangements that increase value, and they will avoid making contracts that destroy it. Where transactions are costly, some legal assignments of rights will be more efficient than others.
